deworming chickens????????????????

[buckaroogirl]

Ok I think I got it now.

Coumaphos (Meldane)
Piperazine (Wazin) (only for roundworms?)
Levamisole
Thiabendazole
Mebendazole
Ivermective (Ivomectin?)
Albendazole (Valbazen) (May prevent dead worm overload)
Fenbendazole (Panacur, SafeGuard)
Flubenvet

Between the shoulder blades, spritzed on their heads, in their water, injected subcutaniously or intra-muscular

Bleach
Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
Turpentine
Diatomaceous Earth
Pumpkin seeds
Yogurt
Cayenne Pepper
Garlic
Buttermilk
Fermented feed
Probiotic powder

Treat at the same time, or not at the same time as amprol and antibiotics

Throw eggs away for 4-14 days or feed them to my dogs or back to my chickens scrambled

MAN I need to go SHOPPING!

Wish me luck!

Seriously though, you guys have been very helpful... I am going to go pick up some injectible Ivermec and treat at the same time with amprol, vitamins and antibiotics because I think I have more than 1 problem. I'm ALSO going to pick up some buttermilk, and mix with scrambled eggs and pumpkin seeds (if for no other reason than it makes them happy)

Lol can't tell if you're sarcastic or not. But can't use Amprol with vitamins.

Someone said that on another thread, I thought Amprol just prevented uptake, so it wouldn't matter, but I'll wait on the vitamins anyways thanks!

Give the injectable Ivermectin orally.

.25 ml for a mature standardized chicken

 

[WillowChick]

I have some injectable ivermectin. It's 10mg/ml, is that the right concentration to give them .25ml?

I have seabrights and banties too, how much do you think I should give them?

Amprolium is a thiamin blocker, so you don't want to negate it's effectiveness by providing additional thiamin with vitamins at the same time your treating with Amprolium.

Just a side note about deworming with Ivermectin: It's efficacy in chickens is questionable, my avian vet no longer recommends its use. Casportpony has some data on that info if you are interested. If you are going to deworm might as well use something effective, like Valbazen or Safeguard.

Is there a dewormer that I can use on my 5 hens so I wont have to trow away the eggs?

 

[novagirl73]

My two hens are about 8months old, and have been laying regularly for two weeks. I understand they molt in fall/ winter and stop producing eggs. I was thinking of deworming them when they stop laying and start to molt. Seeing how the weather is changing, would it be wise to deworm ( as a preventative measure ) during their molting period? In theory I could avoid the two week withdrawal and not "waste" any eggs?

LOL. On a regular basis too (every day)........................

On the bantams, I would not give more than 3 or 4 droplets through the syringe with the needle on. That should equal about .05 ml or less.
